New outlook - order of email accounts

Anonymous

I have multiple email accounts linked to my outlook login, some for work, volunteering and some personal for me and family.

Since 'upgrading' to the new version, I have loads of 'favourites' which I never use and the order of the accounts is not how I want them. I can see how to change your primary but not how to sort the list to change the order top to bottom. Also can I remove the favourites as I don't use them, or even hide?

Thanks

Bill

    Dear Bill,

    To change the order of email accounts in Outlook, you can follow these steps: ( source: https://www.lifewire.com/change-account-order-o... *)

    1. Open Outlook and collapse all the accounts so that only the account names are visible. To collapse accounts, select the arrow to the left of the account name.
    2. Click and hold the account you want to move and then drag the account up or down to a different position.
    3. Close and reopen Outlook. The email accounts are sorted in the order you set.

    As for removing or hiding favorites in Outlook, you can follow these steps:

    1. In Outlook, click on “Favorites” in the left-hand navigation pane.
    2. Right-click on any folder or mailbox that you want to remove from Favorites.
    3. Select “Remove from Favorites” from the context menu.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you.

    Best Regards,

    George A.

    It is June 2025, and this issue remains unresolved. What a joke!
